Fahy pair among 31 left in Scottish National Pat Fahy could saddle two runners in Saturday’s Coral Scottish Grand National. The Carlow handler saddled Mister Fogpatches to finish third 12 months ago in Ayr’s showpiece. This year he has confirmed Stormy Judge and History Of Fashion for the four-miler. He said: “I need to have a look at the confirmations and we’ll go from there. “Distance looks to be History Of Fashion’s forte because he always seems to be doing his best work at the end of a race. He stayed on well up the hill in Naas the last day over three miles and he’s in good form. “I thought Stormy Judge ran a good race in the Leinster National (finished fifth). We felt he would need it and he kind of jumped himself into the race too early and petered out, but he still stayed on well at the end.” A total of 31 horses were left in the Ayr marathon at Monday’s confirmation stage, with the weights now headed by Shark Hanlon’s Hewick on 11st 12lb.
